Madam:
I have to advise you that from the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau it appears that JOSEPH PAY served as an ensign in Captain William Ellis' Company in Colonel Alexander Scamell's New Hampshire Regiment. He was wounded at the first battle of Stillwater, was carried to Albany shortly afterward and died early in November, 1777.
On an application executed March 23, 1820, his son, Joseph, of Walpole, Cheshire County, New Hampshire, and three other sons and two daughters (their names not stated) were allowed 150 acres of bounty land on Warrant 902 on account of the service of their father.
.....
From the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim of Joseph Pay, the son of the above mentioned Ensign Joseph Pay, it appears that he enlisted at Walpole, New Hampshire, March 1, 1777, in Captain William Ellis' Company in Colonel Alexander Scamell's New Hampshire Regiment; he was in both battles of Stillwater and at the surrender of Burgoyne and was discharged January 26, 1780.

He was allowed pension on his application executed December 17, 1819, at which time he was fifty-seven years of age and was living in Walpole, New Hampshire. He died there September 13, 1831.
He married November 14, 1782, Sarah Graves, of Walpole, New Hampshire. She was allowed pension on account of his service, on her application executed September 4, 1838, at which time she was seventy-six years of age and was a resident of Walpole, New Hampshire.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner
